press “enter” for the change to take effect. If you are turning auto patch on, a warning will appear telling

you that some DMX starting addresses may change. Press “yes” to proceed or “no” to exit. Auto patch will

assign an address to each fixture in ascending order with each DMX address immediately following the last

channel of the previous fixture. The first fixture will be assigned to DMX output port 1 at address 1. After

512 channels have been used, DMX output port 2 will be used for any remaining fixtures.

With data wheel #1 you can select from fixtures 1-48 and see the starting address and port assigned to each

fixture. You can move the cursor under any of the three digits of the channel number or use data wheel #3

to select a new starting address as long as auto patch is turned off. You must press “enter” to record any

change. The message “DONE” will appear for 1 second to confirm.

MULTI FIXTURE

Show Designer 2 supports intelligent lighting fixtures that use as many as 32 DMX channels. Since most

fixtures use fewer than 32 channels, Show Designer 2 will allow you to configure a group of fixtures that

are of the same type, under a single fixture number. For example if you have selected a 4 channel scanner

for fixture number 1, you can set “multi” to 8. When fixture 1 is selected you will be able to use all 32

channels available for fixture 1 to control 8 of these scanners.

NOTE: This feature is for controlling large numbers of small 1, 2, 3 or 4 channel fixtures. This helps to

prevent wasting fixture numbers on a bunch of small fixtures.

You will be able to control the individual channels of each fixture separately using the 4 banks of 8 faders

or with the data wheels. When using the joystick, all of the multi fixtures within that fixture number will

respond if they have a pan and tilt feature. To control individual pan and tilt levels separately you will have

to use the faders or the wheels.

To program the multi fixture setting for a fixture number, move the cursor to the fixture number and use

the + and - switches or data wheel #1 to select a fixture. Move the cursor to the multi number or use data

wheel #2 to increment or decrement this value. You can only choose numbers between 1 and the

maximum number of fixtures that will fit into 32 channels. If it is a 4 channel fixture the multi value can be

no higher than 8. You must press “enter” to record the change. If auto patch is enabled you will be given

the warning that some addresses may change. Press “yes” to continue or “no” to exit.

MODIFY FIXTURE

This allows you modify some of the channel attributes of a fixture. You can also use this to create a new

fixture that isn’t in the library by modifying an existing one. To do this you must first select a fixture as

described above in the “Choose Fixture” section. When trying to create a new fixture, choose something

that is similar to the one you are trying to create or start with the “Generic Dimmer” which is the first

choice from the list. You can later use the “Copy Fixture” feature as described in the next section to

duplicate the new fixture.

There are nine fixture attributes that can be modified. The attributes are: fixture name, number of channels,

black channel, black value, pan channel, pan fine channel, tilt channel, tilt fine channel and crossfade mode.

After you have entered the “Modify Fixture” menu, use the cursor switches to move the underline cursor

to the fixture number or use data wheel #1 to select the fixture you want to modify. Next move the cursor

to the “attribute” which is displayed immediately to the right or use data wheel #2 to select from the nine

fixture attributes. Next move the cursor to the “value” line of the display or use data wheel #3 to select the

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 33 34
